Statement of Need

EMG EQUIPMENT

OVERVIEW:

The EMG equipment is intended for the acquisition, display, analysis, reporting and management of electrophysiological information from the human nervous and muscular system during routine clinical electromyography (EMG), nerve conduction studies (NCS), evoked potential (EP) testing and interoperative monitoring (IOM). The equipment can be portable or cart-based and also be used in the Operating Room (OR), Emergency Room (ER) and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for monitoring of the nervous and muscular system.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

The equipment consists of a base unit, an amplifier, a control panel, an electrical stimulator probe, a computer and software. The base unit contains an integrated speaker, the electrical and auditory stimulators, and all the connectors for stimulators and other peripheral devices. Three amplifier types are available: 2 channel (AT2) with two (2) non-switched amplifier channels, 8 channel (AT2+6) with two (2) non-switched and six (6) switched amplifier channels, and a 16 channel EP/IOM amplifier. The AT2 and AT2+6 amplifiers include a connector for temperature measurement. Two types of electrical stimulator probes are available: Comfort Probe (RS10) and the Comfort Probe Plus (WR50). In addition to delivering the stimuli, the Comfort Probe Plus allows direct control of stimulus parameters as well as the examination workflow. The 8 channel (AT2+6) amplifier can be used with an optional head box (HB-6). The 16 channel (EP/IOM) amplifier includes a 20 (6.1 m) cable to connect to the Nicolet EDX, and must be used with at least one headbox(up to 2 available, HB1 & HB2) and one stimulator pod(up to 4 can be used, 2 sets of SP1 & SP2 stimulator pods).
